Summary
Z-90 activates in July and December if an infected file is executed
and the time is exactly 09:03. At this time the virus encrypts the
DOS boot sector of drive C:, making the PC unbootable (encryption
is done by XORing with 16-bit hex value 0903). After this it
displays this message:
VIRUS Z-90. JUNIO 95. M
EXICOSE MURIO TU DISCO
DUROTU LO PUEDES RE
VIVIRHAS BAILADO ALGUNA VEZ CON TU NOVIA A LE TENUE LUZ DE LA
Z-90 was found in the wild in Brazil in April 1996.
